Well if it opens it can't be a fuse as it wouldn't move either way. It could be  Switch issue though?

As Thai said if it opens it's not going to be the fuse! My money would be on the switch :wink:

i had this problem last week, had the car two years no problem, then locked the car, and it opened by it self and wouldnt close, i closed it with allen key, then been fine since. it was almost like the sunroof was stuck, when i pressed the close button, u cud hear the motor want to wind for a second but alost like it didnt have enough power to free it. strange, im kkeeping a eye on mine  :shocked:

I get this occasionally too. I find that if the little cover that sits over the allen key part isnt fully in place it disables the sunroof.
